The 22-year-old joins the Bluebirds on a one-year deal, having most recently played for fellow JD Cymru Premier side and European qualifiers, Penybont.

He linked up with the Bridgend outfit in January 2022 after leaving Ammanford, where he had been a regular in the JD Cymru South before earning a move to the top-flight.

A tenacious midfielder, Whitmore featured in all 32 league games in the 2022-23 season, helping the side to secure a top three finish which booked their place in this summer’s UEFA Europa Conference League qualifiers, along with the Bluebirds.

He played the entirety of the 2021-22 JD Welsh Cup final against The New Saints at Cardiff City Stadium, which saw Bont narrowly edged out 3-2.
